Odds as of August 23 at Sportsbook

Only five teams have ever gone winless in NFL history, and only two have done so in the modern (16-plus games) regular-season era — the 2008 Detroit Lions (0-16) and the 2017 Cleveland Browns (0-16). Now, with an additional regular-season game, going winless is even harder.

Leading the charge in this year’s NFL odds to go winless, the Houston Texans have an implied chance of 5.88 percent to go 0-17 this NFL season.

Which NFL Teams Could Go Winless?

Houston Texans

The Texans had a decent offseason, adding Derek Stingley Jr. and some other young talent in the draft before filling out some depth on the roster in free agency. However, Houston still isn’t really in compete mode right now. Davis Mills still has plenty of question marks at QB, there aren’t really any playmakers on offense, and the defense doesn’t scare opposing teams much either.

There’s enough competence in Houston that the Texans shouldn’t go winless, but with a few injuries and some bad losses, who knows.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks weren’t very good last year. They won seven games, had suspect defensive play all year, and couldn’t stay healthy or push for a postseason spot.

So, after losing Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner, D.J. Reed, Gerald Everett and others in the offseason, it’s fair to expect the Seahawks to be one of the worst teams in football. The one reason it’s hard to expect the Seahawks to lose all 17 games is due to the options at quarterback. If Drew Lock is bad enough to lead them to a winless record, eventually Geno Smith should step in and snag at least one win.

Sportsbook

Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons lost a lot of reliable talent this offseason, trading Matt Ryan while losing Russell Gage and Hayden Hurst and others to free agency. They signed a few players and extended some offensive playmakers, but with Marcus Mariota at QB and a young Desmond Ridder learning behind him, the absence of Matty Ice makes Atlanta one of the tanking teams this year, for sure.

The Falcons also have the 10th-hardest schedule in football this year, per Sharp Football, providing all the more reason to hammer their odds to go 0-17.
